Okay, so today was my first day at this new school. And by new, I mean two things: I just moved to it, and it just opened last September. So I was in class, and my teacher was doing attendance. He calls out my deadname and I tell him in front of the whole class that my preferred name is Alex. He doesn't deadname me! This is the first time I've come out publicly with my new name and I'm so happy. And I think my gayness has burst, because there's this girl that sits beside me, and she is very kind, sweet and pretty. I can't work up the nerve to talk to her and I'm sad about that, but maybe I'll talk to her later on in the week. Wish me luck
